That day, thunder rumbled through the depths of space.
Even the Ziwei Continent, billions of miles away, was shaken by it.
Though the people were somewhat panicked, they did not descend into chaos. They still went about whatever they needed to do. Only some elderly folks had the leisure to sit down and chat.
"Yo, Tribulation Control Venerable has been a little quick lately!"
"Yeah. It used to be once every ten-odd years, but now it's happened twice in less than a month. Tribulation Control Venerable is really getting fiercer and fiercer!"
"Every time, he makes such a huge commotion. I heard he's only around eight hundred years old. He really is more impressive than those immortal masters who are thousands of years old."
"It's good to be young. When I was young, I could make quite a big commotion too!"
"Old Wang, you're joking again. I live next door to you—every night, you're either tired or sleepy. That tigress of yours has gotten so bad-tempered because of it..."
"Sigh, it's all tears. Still, your wife is gentler..."
"..."
Mu Chen took in every bit of the idle chatter from the old men at the village entrance.
Unlike mortals, as a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage peak, he saw things far more clearly.
The thunder from the deep void beyond the domain had not been caused by Tribulation Control Venerable at all. It was the catastrophic calamity those poor seniors at the Integration stage peak were suffering!
What exactly is Brother Yi trying to do?!
Didn't he usually just hide in Phantom Star Grotto-Heaven, being a shut-in and keeping a low profile?
Why had he become so high-profile lately?
First, he lulled the Heavenly Dao to sleep and came out to take control of the world himself. Then, he forced those Integration stage peak seniors to break through and undergo tribulation...
Wasn't he afraid of getting struck by the Tribulation Transcendence again for being so arrogant?
Something was wrong. Not just wrong—twelve parts out of ten wrong!
Mu Chen felt his eyelids twitching nonstop. This was not a good omen.
After weighing it over and over, he decided to send a private message to a former group member.
Back to All Beings (Group 98 Group Leader): Chunan, are you there?
The other side quickly showed that the message had been read, but after a long silence, no reply came.
The corner of Mu Chen's mouth suddenly twitched violently.
So this was what it felt like to be left on read? What an act!
No wonder Brother Yi had come over to give him a dose of reality back then. Even he could not stand it.
But helplessly, he was the one asking for a favor. No matter how displeased he was, he could only continue sending messages in a lowly manner.
Back to All Beings (Group 98 Group Leader): Chunan, I know you're there. Sending you over back then was an act of necessity, but didn't it turn out well? You should be living better in your new home than you did in your old one, right?
Back to All Beings: Chunan, I know you're angry with me, but have you forgotten? Who saved you at the critical moment when your life was in danger? Who helped you drive Lin Hao back time and again? We were once as close as brothers—how did we end up as strangers now? Or did you enter your new home and forget the brothers from your old one?
This time, after leaving him on read for two and a half minutes, Xiao Chunnan could not resist replying.
Fallen Genius (Xiao Chunnan): As close as brothers? Heh. Let's not even talk about how you used me. When I took on missions, taking the Group Leader's 50% cut wasn't enough for you—you insisted on taking another 50% handling fee from me. That's as close as brothers? I'm close with your ******
Fallen Genius: But I really do have to thank you. Because of you, I was able to join such a great group chat. Everyone here is talented and speaks so pleasantly. Even when they stab you in the back, they do it openly and honestly. The Group Leader is even more broad-minded—not only does he never take a cut from projects, he also maxes out every kind of benefit!
How is it anything like the group chat you managed? Everyone was scheming against one another. It was even darker than the gloomy workplace from my previous life. Only because we transmigrated did it not happen—otherwise, a black-hearted boss like you would have been hanging from a streetlamp sooner or later!
Mu Chen fell silent for a moment and did not argue back.
Isn't everyone like this?
If you think this book is good, please remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
If a Group Leader did not take a cut from group members' rewards, then how could they improve based only on that extra 50% share?
And how was that cut high? Don't spout nonsense, alright? Being a Group Leader was difficult. Compared with other groups, his cut was already very low. Sometimes, people should look for the reasons in themselves—after all these years, had their cultivation improved? Had they seriously taken on missions?
But no matter what, it was a good thing as long as he had replied!
Mu Chen continued to send messages with a shameless grin.
Back to All Beings: Chunan, there hasn't been any major movement in your group lately, has there? You know, your Group Leader and I are in the same world. He seems to have been a little off lately.
Fallen Genius: No comment. Also, don't message me again in the future. I'm afraid the Group Leader will misunderstand.
Back to All Beings: Wait, I did genuinely save your life, didn't I? You won't even agree to such a small request?
Back to All Beings: Chunan, Chunan, why aren't you even leaving me on read? Did you turn on Do Not Disturb mode?
Back to All Beings: No, Chunan!!!
"Fuck!!!"
Mu Chen was a little heated. It would have been one thing if he had failed to gather any information, but he had also gotten cursed out for nothing. It made him feel awful.
At the same time.
After enabling Do Not Disturb mode, Xiao Chunnan felt utterly refreshed.
It was not that he did not want to directly block this former Group Leader, but his permissions were not high enough. He could not block someone at the Group Leader level.
Still, turning on Do Not Disturb mode felt great. At least no noisy notification sounds would affect his mood.
Right now, he was following the Group Leader's instructions and using the clan's Spirit Emperor-grade exotic treasure as bait!
This was dancing on the edge of a blade. Before the Group Leader gave clear instructions, he did not dare expose himself and reel in the net. He absolutely could not allow irrelevant people to interfere!
And what did he mean by the Group Leader seeming a little off lately?
Would I not know whether our Great Group Leader is acting strange or not?!
He had just sent a red packet in the group to encourage everyone!
Come to think of it, should he tell the Group Leader about how Mu Chen had privately messaged him to pry for information and tried to slander the Group Leader...?
Wait...
No!
There were still two old companions in the group. He could not possibly have privately messaged only him!
He had to report this quickly. Otherwise, once he was too late, the credit would belong to someone else!
With that thought, Xiao Chunnan immediately summoned the group chat interface.
But unfortunately, he was still one step too late.
A mind burdened by affairs ultimately did not turn as quickly as the minds of those who lay flat and cultivated.
Myriad Worlds Transmigrators Chat Group 108
I Don't Eat Cilantro: Group Leader, Group Leader, the Group Leader of Group 98 privately messaged me just now. Not only did he want to pry into this group's secrets, he even said you had encountered a major problem recently and suspected that you might not have long to live!
Xiao Chunnan: ...
Zhao Gao: ...
Well damn, it had to be you. You really knew how to blow things out of proportion!
This morning, the author took a Dao Sealing Killing Move as a warning. It left the author's mind somewhat muddled and nearly caused a crash. Fortunately, the forbidden power was refined in time, narrowly avoiding disaster.
Lastly, group member I Really Don't Want to Sacrifice to Heaven has been renamed Fang Zheng. Please take note. If you find the old name still being used, then please @ the author and have him refine it in an instant!
